If you keenly followed Paul Pogba's transfer to Man United last summer, the main turning point was that moment when Juventus handed over the number 10 shirt to teammate Paulo Dybala. This move finally confirmed the Frenchman was on his way out of the Turin-based club.
And now, a similar situation has occurred in Benfica involving yet another Man Utd target, Victor Lindelof. The Swede has been omitted from the club's squad to face Vizela in their League Cup match, despite being physically fit.

Although it is quite normal for star players of his caliber to be excluded from other 'minor' competitions such as the League Cup, what raises eyebrows is the fact that Benfica boss Rui Vitoria has named a full-strength squad for this tie, which has the likes of Pizzi, Rafa, Jonas and Nelson Semedo.
Could this be the surest signal that the defender is heading to Old Trafford in the winter transfer season? Well, at least Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently confirmed that the Eagles man has what it takes to play in the top tier.
